    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you. I also just want to make few comments. One, I support this Bill. It is very important for us to come up with this authority. But over and above that, I also want to add my voice to the fact that to be a leader, it is not proven through academics. Yes, a Masters Degree is good because it shows that you have the brain, but that is not the only quality that we should look for. For that reason, a Masters Degree requirement should be left optional. At least, if one has 15 years with a first degree which should be good enough. If you have a Masters Degree, then it shows that you have the capacity to absorb more and so we should now lower the threshold of the experience because you spent well your years in class while the other was gaining experience. It is good to balance the two by having 15 years if you do not have a Masters degree or you have a Masters and ten years’ experience. That will balance after all those of us who went through secondary education know that graduates from the Kenya Science Teachers College were more competent than graduates from the Kenyatta University."
